Let's go, Narvdog! This will be my last home game of the year (I'll be at Citi Field Tuesday, which will be my last game in attendance for the year :\). Close the year with a quality win, boys.
-
Nice job, Mark. Way to work out of the mess.
-
Nice to see Rogers protecting the Brewers hitters early by plunking a batter. LOL.
-
crewcrazy, I was almost tempted to edit my post to say "... and probably Loe, too." haha. Why did Rogers have to choose 37? Seeing a Brewer in #37 almost sent a chill down my spine, LOL.
-
McCalvy tweeted Rogers will likely throw about 60 pitches and be backed by Jeffress. I'd imagine we'll see Villanueva, McNewGuy, and possibly even Hoffman as well.
-
I'll be headed to the park shortly. Hopefully we can salvage one game this series and clinch a winning season with me in attendance lol. The difference between Cruz and Counsell for one game is likely negligible, but if Macha prefers to start the 'name' guy I'm not surprised.
-
Gomez breaking his bat over his knee may be the most impressive thing I've seen him do with a bat in his hands all year.
-
Trevor Time. Get it done. I selfishly was hoping Hoffman would get his chance tomorrow with me in attendance, but lets get a win and 600 tonight!

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o254/gjenkins05/100_3794.jpg The knees give it away every time. There were a lot of Cardinals fans, but the Brewers fans that remained were loud in the 9th inning. At least we were able to make it interesting. If only we could play passable defense on a consistent basis. It was nice to see Jeffress get the chance to face Pujols, he got the ground ball he needed...

Anyone else sick of coupon giveaways?
thablingster replied to Vgmastr's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I definitely get where you're coming from, but I think a lot of it is due to the economy. The Brewers are trying to give back to their sponsors by directly creating revenue for them with coupon giveaways. For example, Brewers Blanket Day sponsored by Verlo doesn't create as much revenue for Verlo as a coupon giveaway does. For most fans it is meaningless, but I'm sure their hope is it reaches enough people to create a sales spike. They did a few non-bobblehead giveaways this year (Fielder growth chart, Brewers drawstring backpack), but those were both sponsored by companies that a coupon bump really doesn't help. AirTran and Frontier did luggage tags, which is a cutesy thing that basically gives them continued exposure in the community. I think as things continue to rebound you'll see the hat, koozie, and other novelty giveaway days return. -
I am at the ballpark. They are working on the roof shade fix right now. Great day for baseball. Go Brewers!
-
I blame the shadows for Inglett not scoring a runner there. That was just a good 3-2 pitch. Nice job by Wolf. Hopefully the bullpen can hold the lead in this one.
-
Prince's home run was awesome to listen to on the radio. You could hear the collective gasp from the crowd. You wouldn't even have to see it to know it was a ridiculous moonshot.
-
Gamel, then Kottaras. Really, Macha? I can understand Gamel, but if we're playing for a home run with Kottaras that's sad considering Lidge has only given up 5 this year. They'd be better off using Counsell and hoping to get it to Weeks.
-
Is it just me, or was Braun's footwork pretty awful on that ball? He charged it, but by the time it got to him he basically was throwing the ball flat footed. Meh. That still can't get past McGehee, Lucroy, and Braddock. Someone has to cut that off.
-
Corey hits 'em in bunches!
-
I love how Cory Provus just called Hart's home run. "Corey is due, he hasn't hit a home run since August 1."
-
I concur with the signing him wouldn't be a bad move provided there are no guarantees. Considering that Prior's return to the big leagues would be as a reliever (per the article), as long as the he is made to earn a big league job and isn't given preference over one of the younger guys who has earned the spot due to their play this year it is great to have depth and competition.

Fish-Nats fight / Nyjer Morgan
thablingster replied to TwinsBrewersWorldSeries's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Gaby Sanchez busted out a clothesline John Bradshaw Layfield could be proud of. For a guy who looks so happy in his scoreboard photos, Nyjer has some anger issues. Don't forget when he spiked his glove earlier this year after not catching a possible home run, allowing an inside-the-park home run because he wasn't paying attention. -
Gomez vs. Chapman. This should be awesome. edit: Wow, he made contact. That's more than I expected. lol.
-
I love how some of the songs are already outdated. Gomez used Lil Wayne - Fireman for his pinch hacking appearance yesterday. Weeks now has Lil Wayne featuring Drake - Right Above It. Dickerson's music isn't terrible.
-
http://milwaukee.brewers.....jsp?content=atbat_music The Brewers actually updated the website, answering my questions about Fielder and Cain, my friend knew Weeks' new song. No help on Bush, though. I didn't pay very close attention as to whether Bush had his own theme, but they played the previously typical Adelitas Way "Invincible" music for when the team took the field for first inning warm ups.
-
Roof shenanigans or non-roof shenanigans, I am glad to see the Brewers were able to handle Morton today. It was nice for Trevor to get 599. I agree that the CC bobble is pretty epic. They can't stop the window shadows, but those usually don't creep in until the late innings anyway. Very hot in the park today, but a win is a win.
-
Okay. Brewers. I am looking to go 3 games above .500 on the year. I know you hate day games, but Morton's record is awful. Please win!
-
My Brewers playlist is sad without Prince's new music and Lorenzo Cain's. Any help on Rickie's would be appreciated, too. I know Rickie's is some Lil' Wayne, but if you can make my work easier, it would be appreciated. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
